Orion 2500d accept 0 gauge wire?

Hey I was just reading the manuel of the orion 2500d amplifier and it says "in order for the orion 2500d to run properly use 4 gauge power wire". I just bought a Stinger 0 gauge wire kit and now im unsure if it will work with the amp? Does anybody here know?

Well I still have the 4gauge wire in my car from my old amp (audiobahn a1300hct) but I was only pushing about 300watts rms to each of my L7s. I was planning on running about 1200 watts rms to each sub now with the Orion and I went ahead and got 0 gauge wiring because thats what everybody recommended me to get for such a setup like mine now. They said that 0 gauge would be much better than 4 gauge and thats what I thought too.

you'll still need the 1 guage wire. the orion has 2 4 guage inputs. it's basically like wiring 2 amps. you have 2 power inputs, 2 ground inputs, remote and speaker. run the 1/0 guage to a fused distro block, then 2 4 guage out to the amp. same with ground except the distro does not need to be fused.

So to answer my question...NO I CANNOT JUST RUN 0 GAUGE WIRE TO THE POWER LIKE I DID BEFORE WITH MY AUDIOBAHN A1300HCT(with 4 gauge instead of course)?
